The room that we booked (for our family of 5) was not available. We were offered 2 joined room. Pushed all of our stuff down, there was no door between rooms. Back to the desk. Ended up squeezing 3, 9 year old kids and 2 adults in a queen with pull out which meant horrible sleep and zero space. Offered our room for night two which meant more wasted time on our trip packing everything, moving rooms. We were initially told we would be reimbursed entire stay. Bad communication. Told when we were leaving from front desk, price was adjusted first night to smaller room price. Then told 1st night was comped. Couldn't talk to the manager, she was in the building, but "is sick". Have not seen reimbursement yet. Hotel was not very clean and smelled of cat urine.

Heard music all night long our first night. Housekeeping made our bed but somehow didn't move a pillow. Took all our towels and didn't replace them. Breakfast was the usual buffet. Someone needs to clean up the bird poop by the front entrance.

the location is great but I reserved 2 rooms and had a few problems. It took me 2 days of help from front desk to finally figure out tv control. The other room which I needed for handicap purposes was not great. The blinds would not go up so was in darkness all day and night. The refrigerator had to be unplugged at night because it was so noisy and they couldn't sleep. Because of location I might consider using it again but would think about it

Good Staff Being Brought Down by Owner

While the stay overall was good. It was evident that the staff has issues with ownership. The staff is ready to give up and it was evident in the cleanliness and complaints from the staff when issues were brought up.

The hotel was very dated and didn’t feel clean. The pool water was almost green and smelled like pee with little to no chlorine smell. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, but that’s about the extent of the good qualities of this hotel! It did the job but we would definitely recommend looking elsewhere first.

We stayed the night and wasn't impressed with the lack of cleanliness of the room. There was dirt on the bathroom floor and carpeting within the room. The bathroom ceiling vent fan cover was laying on the cabinet in the bathroom, which caused us to look at the discolored ceiling.

The lady at check in was wonderful and patient as I had to go ask several questions and an issue upon check-in. Not sure her name as she had no name tag on. Bathroom upon entering room had urine in it. Areas of bathroom around floor were either water stained or needing replacing. We had an adjoining room. We could hear the baby on the other side crying and the mom yelling at him to be quiet. Breakfast was not the typical taste we are used to at other locations. Eggs had something in them. Sausage had no flavor. Pool was perfect temperature. Nice view of the lake off the dining area and a place to go outside and sit and enjoy the view. Area was quiet. Close to restaurants and Walmart.
